Frequently asked questions

Does Manitoba have a ground-source (geothermal) offer too?

Yes — a separate pay-on-bill program installs a ground-source heat pump with no upfront cost, repaid $75/month interest-free for 15 years, free for income-qualified households. See the Affordable Home Energy Program.
